Antminer S6 speculation

[philipma1957]

I'm curious about specs for the S6, too. Power by me is about $0.20 to $0.25 per KWH. Unless the power consumption drops dramatically or the GH/s increases substantially I won't be able to mine any more. Glad I got some while GPU mining was still profitable!

you will never be able to mine at home and make a consistent profit.  not with 20 cents a kwatt.

what you can do at home is get a piece of decent used gear and mine it solo on a pool

like this one

mine with a s-3 from antminer.  put in 3 pools 1 solo and 2 normal  run it balanced  so 150 gh + 150 gh + 150 gh   ⅔ is going to get back some money the other ⅓ may never see a dime or may hit a block.

If you really want to mine you could host a miner here

  I think they should update the S4 .  Its all in one compact design . just looks more professional

I just got a reply from bitmain the S6 will be released in July !

~0.4gh/w in July=irrelevant. They have boards now, what's up with the multi-month delay?

[sidehack]

Hopefully not self-mining to take advantage of limited increased competition.

Also, I'd guess 0.4W/GH is a very conservative estimate given the S2 Upgrade will probably be rated for that. S6 I'd expect to see about 0.3W/GH at the top end.

I personally would be hesitant to buy it in July or August.  I remember the release of the S4 in October 2014.  Only a couple of months later, the S5 was released with much better efficiency.  It depends on the efficiency of the S6 before I would consider buying.  There could very well be an S7 to come out only 2 months later like the S5 came out 2 months after the S4 release.

Anyone who purchases the S6 [with the same chips as the S5] is making a serious mistake.  As they will see a more power efficient S7 come out only a couple of months afterwards.  My opinion...

Hy guys,

did you check out hashcoins.com with their Uranus Miner?
Take a look here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=417623.0
I do not know how this rivals Bitmain, but we already, if you believe buyers, have these chips with the efficiency running.

This Uranus miner has been talked about many times.  Most likely a scam.  They still have not shown a zeus miner which  is no where near as efficient.

Okidoki, so you think this guy https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=417623.msg10996618#msg10996618 is a scammer "purchased" by hashcoins.com

I would say Maverick has a good point this is a S6 speculation thread.   The Uraus miner has nothing to do with thread and goes off topic.  Is that guy  telling the truth? I have no idea.  He didnt provide a transaction ID, he went with bank transfer he say's.  I think there is a good chance he is tied in with company yes.  And if not I feel sorry as he most likely got scammed.

Either way back to S6 speculation .

Agreed, it was just an idea of comparing an "existing" product with a speculated pentand. I don´t know, that´s why i initially asked. I believe we are thinking the same, sorry for the "customer" if so.

Back to S6 -> http://www.antminerdistribution.com/, any info or news about spec, price and availability 
They have listed the S6 in their products, though without a sheet. Have you guys news from http://www.antminerdistribution.com/ regarding the S6

I'm getting a few extra breakers put in.  I'm sure there will be room for one ... or two of these

it will come out before june. s5 is out for too much time, so s6 must be around the corner, imo

bitmain going spondoolies, noise wise
